4. Price Forecast

Since the weekend, local factory prices have been adjusted upward. Today, overall shipping sentiment remained mixed. In Northwest China, factories continued their previous shipping pace. In Central China, although some local factories were under maintenance, other plants maintained decent shipping volumes. In East China, affected by prior navigation restrictions, inventory levels at some enterprises have increased. Chempricehub predicts that the short-term glacial acetic acid market will likely remain stable.

5. Related Product Status

Ethyl Acetate:
Market prices for ethyl acetate rose today. During the weekend, mainstream factories in Shandong saw auction prices increase, with good participant engagement and active premium transactions. Raw material acetic acid prices remained relatively firm. Downstream demand for restocking persisted, and traders' willingness to enter the market improved significantly compared to previous periods. Most factories experienced smooth transactions. Chempricehub expects that short-term ethyl acetate market prices will undergo narrow-range adjustments, primarily guided by trends in raw material acetic acid.

Butyl Acetate:
Market prices for butyl acetate rose today. Overall market supply remains sufficient. Auction prices from mainstream factories partially increased over the weekend, boosting market sentiment. Currently, raw material trends dominate market psychology; specifically, firm acetic acid prices have boosted downstream participation due to cost support. Chempricehub predicts that short-term butyl acetate market prices will remain rational, with sales conducted through negotiation.

4. Price Forecast
Today, glacial acetic acid market prices continued to rise. Major factories adjusted prices upward, and market prices followed suit synchronously. Factories currently face little sales pressure. Capacity utilization at major factories in Henan province has declined. Downstream industries primarily execute long-term contracts, showing limited interest in spot purchases. Chempricehub predicts that the short-term glacial acetic acid market may continue to rise locally.

5. Related Product Status

Ethyl Acetate:
Ethyl acetate market prices remained stable today, with sentiment improving compared to the previous two days. Mainstream factories in Shandong conducted competitive bidding sales with stable starting prices and smooth premium transactions. Raw material acetic acid prices continued to rise, providing adequate cost support to the market. Some factories are fulfilling export orders, leading to tighter spot circulation. Meanwhile, weak domestic demand consumption has restricted overall downstream purchasing volumes. Chempricehub expects short-term ethyl acetate market prices to remain stable.

Butyl Acetate:
Butyl acetate market prices remained stable today, driven primarily by essential demand procurement. Raw material n-butanol prices held steady, providing some cost-side support to the market. Supply remained tight in certain regions, supporting increased transaction volumes for mainstream factories in Shandong. However, other factories reported average shipping rates, slow domestic consumption, and persistent contradictions in the demand side. Chempricehub predicts that short-term butyl acetate market prices will undergo narrow-range adjustments within a specific interval.
